[] CONNECTING THE REFRIGERATOR
TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE
(icemaker models)
A cold water supply is required for automatic
icemaker operation. If there is not a cold water
supply, you will need to provide one. SeeInstalling
the Water Line section.
NOTES:
• Before making the connection to the refrigerator,
be sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged
into the wall outlet.
• If your refrigerator does not have a water filter, we
recommend installing one if your water supply has
sand or particles that could clog the screen of the
refrigerator's water valve. Install it in the water line
near the refrigerator. If using GESmartConnecf"
Refrigerator Tubing Kit, you will need an additional
tube (WXO8XIO002)to connect the filter. Do not cut
plastic tube to install filter.
